Midland Industries 103GH-LNG Long Shank Swivel Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 103GH-LNG is a long shank swivel adapter designed to connect a 3/4-inch female garden hose thread to a 3/8-inch male NPTF swivel fitting. Constructed from brass, this adapter provides corrosion resistance and durability in fluid transfer applications. The swivel design allows the fitting to rotate during connection, reducing hose twist and making installation faster in tight or awkward spaces. The long shank configuration provides additional grip and sealing surface compared to standard-length adapters. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and general contractors typically install this fitting where garden hose assemblies must tie into threaded pipe systems.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a garden hose connection must transition to a 3/8-inch male NPTF pipe thread. Common install scenarios include hose bibb extensions, equipment hookups, and irrigation manifold connections. It falls within the MAF/USA Brass Fittings product line, specifically the garden hose to male pipe swivel category, making it a standard choice for technicians working on garden hose supply systems that terminate at pipe-threaded ports.

Key Features

• Long shank design provides extended grip surface and improved sealing over standard shank adapters
• Swivel function reduces hose twist during makeup, speeding up connections in confined areas
• Brass construction resists corrosion in water service applications
• 3/4-inch female garden hose thread on one end accepts standard garden hose fittings
• 3/8-inch male NPTF swivel on the opposite end seals to tapered pipe threads without relying solely on a separate sealant tape

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-pattern replacement or new-installation fitting for systems requiring a 3/4-inch female garden hose to 3/8-inch male NPTF swivel transition in brass.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any fitting. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the threads themselves, but applying thread sealant tape or compound per job specifications is standard practice. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
